[IronPython] To Compile or Not to compile, that's the question

[Muhammad Abubakar]

I have noticed that on windows world ppl are more used to using some
sort of ide but on linux/unix world ppl (hackers?) like to do a lot on
just shell using the name of the things they use. Since u r used to
typing python and jython what do u say about "ipc"?
